Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who can work across the entire stack, with a strong preference for candidates who are especially solid in the backend. Deep experience with cloud infrastructure is required. Prior experience with startups—through personal projects or by having worked at early-stage companies—is a plus. We strongly prefer candidates located between GMT‑8 (US West Coast) and GMT‑3, though we may consider other situations on a case-by-case basis.

## Responsibilities and Technologies
At Piton Labs, you’ll work alongside startups and large organizations to solve complex technical challenges. You’ll help clients deal with the uncertainty and complexity involved in building software—supporting them as they develop their products and clarifying what actually needs to be built. Instead of only executing predefined tasks, you’ll help set priorities and focus on the problems that matter most to our clients.

We don’t require a single mandatory tech stack, but most projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. In general, we use AWS for cloud infrastructure, although some clients may use other providers. You should be able to justify at least five years of experience building reliable application stacks, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Familiarity with the tools we prefer is beneficial but not required. You must consistently deliver reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced interfaces for web or mobile applications
– Designing and developing a serverless API layer for a new web product
– Building and deploying cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools
– Presenting new features to client stakeholders

## About the Ideal Candidate
You’re proactive and passionate about designing software. You enjoy solving problems and continuously improving your technical skills. Key qualities include:
– Pragmatic: solve problems and create value first, using creativity when needed
– Proactive: take ownership of products or features and understand both technical and human aspects
– Experienced: 5+ years across different types of projects, with skills refined over time
– Adaptable: keeps up with evolving technologies and isn’t limited to a single niche

## Remote Work Policy
– Our team is 100% remote and we don’t maintain a physical office
– We prefer candidates in the United States with legal authorization to work
– Secondary preference for candidates in Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– The role requires 4–6 hours per day of overlap with US Eastern Time
– Digital nomads are welcome; your location is flexible

## Why Work With Us?
– Competitive compensation: $140,000 for candidates based in the United States
– Significant quarterly bonuses tied to company profits, typically between $2,500 and $5,000
– Four weeks of paid vacation
– Fully remote work
– Strong work-life balance—you’ll work with dynamic startups without sacrificing your weekends
